Bayesian Estimation of the Normal Location Model: A Non‐Standard Approach

open access: yesOxford Bulletin of Economics and Statistics, Volume 87, Issue 5, Page 913-923, October 2025.
ABSTRACT We consider the estimation of the location parameter θ$$ \theta $$ in the normal location model and study the sampling properties of shrinkage estimators derived from a non‐standard Bayesian approach that places the prior on a scaled version of θ$$ \theta $$, interpreted as the “population t$$ t $$‐ratio.” We show that the finite‐sample ...

Economic Feasibility of North Slope Propane Production and Distribution to Select Alaska Communities [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Could propane from Alaska’s North Slope reduce energy costs for electric utilities and residential space heating, water heating, and cooking demands? We explored the hypothesis that propane is a viable alternative for fourteen selected communities along ...

Beyond Plasmonics: Atomic‐Scale SERS Platforms for Plasmon‐Free Photocatalysis Monitoring via Charge Transfer Mechanisms

open access: yesAdvanced Sensor Research, Volume 4, Issue 9, September 2025.
This perspective discusses the charge transfer mechanism in single‐atom/small‐cluster SERS systems supported by semiconducting and metallic substrates. Integrating single‐atom/small‐cluster SERS with photocatalytic processes offers unprecedented opportunities for real‐time plasmon‐free reaction monitoring.

Preparation of Cellulose‐Based Planar Ag Substrates Synthesised Using Tollens' Process: Steps Towards Green SERS

open access: yesJournal of Raman Spectroscopy, Volume 56, Issue 9, Page 860-866, September 2025.
In the aim to prepare green substrates for surface‐enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) that exhibit good SERS performance and reproducible SERS signal, cellulose‐based substrates with embedded silver particles were investigated. Ag layers were prepared on various cellulose TLC layers.

Building Worlds: Io, venditore di elefanti. Una vita per forza fra Dakar, Parigi e Milano by Pap Khouma and Oreste Pivetta

open access: yesDive-In
In Io, venditore di elefanti (1990), Pap Khouma and Oreste Pivetta evoke vivid basic images that will engender complex processing and detailed representations of an existential condition: that of a black, illegal immigrant, smuggling illicit goods.

Reliable Methodology for Measuring SERS Enhancement Factor on Colloidal and Solid Substrates: A Practical Guide

open access: yesJournal of Raman Spectroscopy, Volume 56, Issue 9, Page 835-849, September 2025.
A recent literature survey shows that the SERS community is still far from a consensus on how to correctly estimate the Enhancement Factor (EF) of plasmonic substrates. With this article, a simple practical procedure to evaluate the EF of commonly studied colloidal and solid SERS substrates is presented, and all the critical aspects for doing so are ...

Managing Invasive Species: How Much Do We Spend? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Invasive species: they’re along roadways and up mountain trails; they’re in lakes and along the coast; chances are they’re in your yard. You might not recognize them for what they are—plants or animals not native to Alaska, brought here accidentally or

Towards Efficient Full Pose Omnidirectionality with Overactuated MAVs

open access: yes, 2018
Omnidirectional MAVs are a growing field, with demonstrated advantages for aerial interaction and uninhibited observation. While systems with complete pose omnidirectionality and high hover efficiency have been developed independently, a robust system ...
